I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 231 The Big Wrong Suther

The murderer was not at the crime scene when he committed the crime? What kind of truth is this?
  Cao An's speculation left everyone confused.

Smiling slightly, Cao An asked Su Se: "How many levels of body-protecting energy can this hidden weapon of yours break through?"

"Probably the seventh level. If you shoot close to the body, you can almost reach the sixth level." Su Se replied sincerely.

"Okay, let me test you now. If you were asked to come to the room to assassinate Mr. Mo in the middle of the night, what would you do?"

Cao An handed the used bamboo tube of [Sleeve Cannon] to Su Se and asked her to demonstrate it.

But Su Se threw away the bamboo tube with a casual flick: "You are kidding, how can the assassination be successful!"

"Why didn't it succeed?"

"No matter how weak Mr. Mo is, he is still at level three. He asked me to come into the room in the middle of the night without using his body-protecting energy. He turned his back to me. Do you think he was stupid?"

Su Se's words made everyone who was doubtful just now speechless.

Indeed, there is a difference between assassination and overt killing.

Even if Su Se used her beauty to seduce him and entered the room, Mr. Mo was not a fool, so there was no way he would be unprepared.

A little bit of body-protecting energy can be used to get through it safely, but the method of stabbing people from behind will not work at all.

"What's more, as I said just now, Mr. Mo walked all the way from the study to the door before he collapsed. If there was really an assassin, he would have killed him long ago."

Although the room was messy, it was filled with items that Mr. Mo had knocked over casually.

There are no traces of the intertwined fighting spirit, let alone the murderer's intention to pursue him. This shows that the murderer was not in the room at all when he committed the murder.

"But the murderer is not in the room, so how can he commit the murder?" Ying Huorong finished eating the roasted wings and finally stopped to ask Cao An a question.

At this time, Deputy Zhou's subordinates sorted out all the guests' testimonies from last night and sent them over.

A total of 110 guests were divided into two groups.

One group has witnesses, such as Bu Yesheng, Wang Jiang and others. They all talked with their friends at night, and there was proof of alibi when Zi Shi arrived at Yin Shi.

The other group was larger.

In addition to sleeping in the room and being unable to prove themselves, there are also people like Suther who picked locks, broke doors, stole, poisoned, played pranks, and eavesdropped last night...

"You were really busy last night!" Cao An narrowed his eyes and glared at Suman.

Suman quickly looked away and pinched the corners of her clothes uneasily with her little hands: "The little girl is staying alone in the empty room. It's too deserted, so I came out to have some fun."

Ying Huorong on the side listened and greatly appreciated: "I feel calm too, do you want to go tonight? Count me in."

"Okay! I'll ask you to come with me then."

"Hey, Mr. Mo's bones are still cold! You two, please calm down."

Cao An sighed, suppressed the like-minded duo, and glanced at the somewhat uneasy people outside the room.

After all, it is close to the Holy Land of the Monster Clan, and those who are determined will choose to recharge their batteries, and naturally more people will rest normally at night.

There was no witness, so they were a little worried that Cao An would be suspected.

But Cao An grabbed a group with fewer people, glanced at the records, and sneered at the corner of his mouth.

"The murderer is among these thirteen people."

What! There are only thirteen suspects?

Everyone quickly looked closely and found that the thirteen people Cao An mentioned happened to be the ones with alibi.

First Officer Zhou was stunned and asked quickly: "Mr. Cao, are you mistaken? These people were all witnesses last night!"

"Yes! It is precisely because they all have alibi that they are even more suspicious." Cao An's reverse judgment caused everyone to talk about it.

Including Judge Lu, a group of admirers pestered him last night, insisting that he explain the details of the mysterious case. At this moment, he felt a little aggrieved to be involved in it.

It was no longer enough to remain silent. He took a step forward, cupped his hands and said:

"Brother Cao, I know what you mean. You think that the murderer used some method to kill people remotely, and the purpose was to create the illusion of not being at the scene, right?"

"Yes, there are many ways to kill, but since the murderer has arranged such a large array, he naturally wants to stay out of the matter. The clearer the alibi, the more likely he is the suspect."

"But is Brother Cao's statement too far-fetched?"

"It's not far-fetched at all because I have proof."

Cao An chuckled lightly and looked at Wang Jiang, who was standing blankly aside: "Brother, just now you said that Mr. Mo died more than three hours ago?"

"Yes."

"Is there any possibility of misjudgment?"

"Impossible, no one understands corpses better than me, or do you think I'm deliberately deceiving you?" Wang Jiang's face was expressionless, but there was a hint of anger in his tone.

To actually argue with him about corpses is simply...

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not questioning your ability, I'm questioning whether this body has been tampered with."

Cao An said and looked at Su Se who was aside: "I asked you to check the poison that Mr. Mo was poisoned with. Do you understand it?"

"Of course I understand, isn't it [Seven-layered Feathers]? Although this poison is rare, it can't trouble this girl."

Su Se was proficient in poisons and hidden weapons, so he was naturally recruited by Cao An to conduct an autopsy. Unexpectedly, the results were quite good.

[Seven-layered Feathers] is a highly poisonous substance that seals the throat upon seeing blood.

After being seriously injured by a hidden weapon at close range, and the toxin attacks, even a high-level expert would find it difficult to survive two breaths of time.

But Cao An had a different answer.

The silver needle in your hand pricks you, and the result of [Silver Needle Poison Test] is instantly fed back.

"This is not the [Seven-layered Feather], but the [Seventh-layered Feather of Corpse Poison]."

"Huh? What is [Corpse Poison Seventh Level Feather]?" Suther was stunned. This poison is powerful enough. It is rare to see in a hundred years. Is there an improved variety?
  "Of course it's not an improvement, but someone deliberately mixed the corpse liquid into the poisonous arrows and drove them into Mr. Mo's body, thus interfering with the time of death."

After the words fell, everyone's eyes fell on Wang Jiang. This man's expression was already the same as that of Mr. Mo on the ground.

"You mean, someone is deliberately tempting me?"

"I'm not inducing you, I'm plotting against many people."

Cao An looked around the audience: "Wang Jiang, Lu Pan, Qiao Shigong, Su Se, Wen Fufu, Chief Zhou, Bu Yesheng... are all part of this murder plan. Especially this..."

Cao An said, pointing to Su Se, the great grievance on the side.

When Suther heard this, he was stunned: "You mean, I have been plotted against since I got on this ship?"

"No, it was calculated under the boat. Otherwise, do you think it is so easy for sellers and buyers to meet?"

Cao An said amusingly: "If I guessed correctly, you were the one who poured the corrosive poison in the bottom cabin."

Suther's eyes widened: "How do you know?"

"Because your ability is the key to the entire case. It was you who blew the assassination horn, and it is you who will resist all the blame."
